Hi Raven, I am in Goodlettsville, Tn (above Nashville). I just scored some Lemon Cuckoo Marans eggs on ebay. I can't wait for them to hatch. The breeder is in Ohio. I should get them tomorrow or the day after. These will be my first chickens. I have had guineas and geese and a duck before so I am not a total stranger to birds. I notice that you raise Seramas too. What are their personalities like? For that matter what are the general personality of Marans? I fell in love with the eggs. (I am an egg nut just ask any of my family. I blow them out and paint them for Christmas ornaments. I have a collection of stone eggs. I ohhh and ahh over the color and shapes of the eggs I get to eat.) And any of the rest of you can answer too. I just had to say hi to Raven because she's in TN.
